“…On the other hand, numerous sociological studies have shown that valuing religion and regularly practicing it are associated with greater marital stability, higher levels of marital satisfaction, and an increased likelihood that an individual will be inclined to marry (Weaver et al 2002).

The following research sought to examine the relationship between an individual's performance of religious duties and its impact upon his or her level of marital satisfaction and children supervision. Findings in this connection can help strengthen families. Six hundred and sixty heterosexual couples from Tehran were studied using multistage cluster sampling. Information regarding religious duties and marital satisfaction was collected using the researcher's prepared questionnaire, and ENRICH marital satisfaction scale. The results showed that heterosexual couples who observe religious beliefs and perform religious duties (like participation in religious rituals and ceremonies) have a higher rate of marital satisfaction, and have suitable children supervision. Thus, there is a significant correlation between performing religious duties and marital satisfaction. Considering the relation between performing religious duties and nine subscales of marital satisfaction and children supervision questionnaire, Communication Parenting and Religious Orientation account for the highest rate of performing religious duties, and Sexual Relationship accounts for the lowest rate of performing religious duties. Thus, with the increase in religiosity and performance of religious duties, marital satisfaction rate will increase, and vice versa. However, those who perform religious duties have suitable children supervision, so they have good relationship with their family. It can be concluded that religiosity develops the grounds for marital commitment and child-rearing.

Conversely, being in an interfaith marriage is thought to lead to marital dissatisfaction, conflict regarding the raising of children, and higher rates of divorce (Lehrer & Chiswick, 1993).…”

This study investigated four predictors of interfaith marital satisfaction: identity status, differentiation, personal authority, and religiosity. A questionnaire was given to 84 interfaith married individuals assessing these four predictors plus marital satisfaction. Multiple regression analysis found that individuals with an achieved identity reported more marital satisfaction and individuals with a foreclosed identity reported less marital satisfaction. Differentiation also predicted increased marital satisfaction, and personal authority predicted decreased marital satisfaction. This study provides useful information for therapists during premarital therapy because it allows clients to discuss their viewpoints, which may decrease the likelihood of divorce and increase marital satisfaction.
